Being that the C was introduced in March, is it likely to be an extra-long model year, meaning that the next model year won't be in the showrooms until Fall 2013?
I was thinking the same, but what could happen is in fall of this year they just start introducing them as 2013 models and not change anything just the window sticker and bump up the price slightly. I am thinking they should have just introduced our C as early 2013 models.
That is how it will prob go The reason is marketing. The C will not drop in demand, so aside from a few minor flaws/changes, the only changes you will see is higher price. Inflation will be the stated save, but it will be due to demand. Sorta like gold!
